 | Protect all sides with some form of packing
material. |
 | UPS suggests 2 inches of packing on all sides. |
 | Shredded paper inside plastic bags is much better
then crumpled newspaper. |
 | Use empty boxes filled with crumpled paper for
filling larger empty spaces. |
 | Double box (several small boxes in one large box) |
 | Use free boxes from UPS, FedEx, and Priority Mail
(1 and 2 day shipments) |
 | Multiple items should not move around or rub
against each other inside the box. |
 | When done correctly the box should not collapse in
at all and it would be better if it bulged out slightly. Imagine your
box on the bottom of a very tall and very heavy pile of other
packages!! |
